The purpose of Old One's Dominion lay precisely in this.
He was the God of Change, and he had embarked on the path of an Elder God.
Even if the God of Precepts from another world's possibilities came here, when it came to change—the number nine—his say would still not surpass Naimus's.
"Old One's Dominion" was merely the flattering term. Put more plainly, it meant being a great old-timer.
The greater one's authority, the greater one's control over change.
Before Naimus, the God of Precepts might still have been able to rely on his many years as the God of Precepts, as well as the fact that he had not lost the Change Divinity in other worlds, to command a certain rank of change.
But this divine kingdom no longer had that kind of "confidence."
It had imitated the crystal-wall system, yet lacked the crystal-wall system's core structure.
To someone like Naimus, who had truly observed the crystal-wall system, the structure of this divine kingdom's barriers was somewhat "stupid."
More precisely, it had failed to replicate the essence.
Its overall structure was more a pile of divine power.
It had taken the clumsy route, without much technical sophistication.
If even the God of Precepts' divine kingdom was like this, then the other divine kingdoms were probably not much better.
After all, divine kingdoms were not some special technology. Any god with sufficient divine power could build one.
And that was enough.
Much of this world's things had never been made in pursuit of perfection; being sufficient was enough.
The same was true of divine kingdoms. With a god presiding over them, a structure piled high with divine power was the strongest defense.
Without a god presiding over it, the gods outside were the most dangerous entities.
Thus, divine kingdoms generally
